Abstract
An oscillation circuit 80 produces an oscillation signal in accordance with the oscillation frequency of a quartz oscillator 81, and a frequency dividing circuit 90 divides the frequency of the oscillation signal to produce a sampling clock CKs having a duty ratio of 1/8. A constant-voltage circuit 70 is operated during the period in which the sampling clock CKs takes an ''H'' level, and is stopped during the period in which the sampling clock CKs takes an ''L'' level. During the period, a voltage Vreg affected by fluctuations in a second lower potential side voltage Vss2 is generated. However, since the cycle of the sampling clock CKs is short, a fluctuation width of the voltage Vreg is suppressed. Power consumption of the constant-voltage circuit 70 is reduced to 1/8 of that in the case of operating the circuit 70 at all times.

Each drain electrode of input transistors 701,702 is connected on the second low potential side voltage Vss2 by load transistor 704,705.At this moment, each source electrode of input transistors 701,702 is connected on the constant current source 710.Therefore, input transistors 701,702, load transistor 704,705 and constant current source 710 constitute differential amplifier.Here, the grid of input transistors 701 is equivalent to the positive input terminal of differential amplifier, and the grid of input transistors 702 is equivalent to the negative input end of differential amplifier.In this embodiment, the gate voltage of input transistors 701 is the voltage that roughly equates with the threshold voltage vt h of transistor 706, and this voltage plays reference voltage.
Therefore, be at switch 712～714 under the state of connection, form the feedback control loop that is made of input transistors 701 → output transistor 708 → output transistor 707 → input transistors 702, therefore, voltage Vreg is worth with stable.On the other hand, be at switch 712～714 under the state of disconnection, by the grid voltage that keeps capacitor 715 maintenance output transistors 708, service voltage Vreg.For example, in the general clock and watch that drive with silver battery, supply voltage is 1.58V, and output voltage V reg is set to about 0.8V.
[work of 1-3. first embodiment]
Secondly, with reference to the work of description of drawings first embodiment.Fig. 7 is the sequential chart of the work usefulness of explanation time set 1.
In this embodiment, the second low potential side voltage Vss2 rises to noble potential one side since moment t1, and t2 oppositely changes in the moment, the level when moment t3 returns moment t1.This is because the discharging and recharging of capacitor 60, and its terminal voltage reduces since moment t1, and to the direction change that increases, the level when moment t3 returns t1 constantly is caused since moment t2.
At first, sampling clock CKs be " height " level during, switch 712～714 shown in Figure 6 is the state of connection, forms above-mentioned feedback control loop.Therefore, if the value of voltage Vreg descends, then the gate voltage of input transistors 702 descends, and the electric current that the current ratio that flows through input transistors 701 flows through input transistors 702 relatively diminishes.So the leakage of input transistors 701 presses liter, the electric current that flows through output transistor 708 diminishes.Therefore the value of voltage Vreg rises.In addition, if the value of voltage Vreg rises on the contrary, then the gate voltage of input transistors 702 rises, and the electric current that the current ratio that flows through input transistors 701 flows through input transistors 702 relatively becomes big.So the leakage drops of input transistors 701, the electric current that flows through output transistor 708 increases.Therefore the value of voltage Vreg descends.That is, sampling clock CKs be " height " level during, it is consistent with predetermined reference voltage V ref to control voltage Vreg.
On the other hand, sampling clock CKs be " low " level during, switch 712～714 becomes off-state.Therefore, can not carry out the stable of voltage Vreg,, drive oscillatory circuit 80 and frequency dividing circuit 90 with keeping capacitor 715 to keep the gate voltage of output transistor 708 with active component.At this moment, the change of the second low potential side voltage Vss2 is reflected on the voltage Vreg., with the cycle of sampling clock CKs, can seek the stable of voltage Vss2.Therefore, as shown in Figure 7, during Tb, voltage Vss2 is subjected to the influence of low potential side voltage Vss and changes, but during each Ta, ref is consistent with reference voltage V.Therefore, the amplitude of fluctuation Va of voltage Vreg can be suppressed at the degree that is enough to make oscillatory circuit 80 and frequency dividing circuit 90 work.
Like this in first embodiment, because off and on to constant voltage circuit 70 power supplies, so can reduce the consumption electric power of constant voltage circuit 70 significantly.Its result can reduce the wastage in bulk or weight electric power of time set 1, can prolong the time of continuous use significantly.
[variation of 1-4. first embodiment]
Above-mentioned constant voltage circuit 70 also can be as shown in Figure 8.This constant voltage circuit 70 ' is a kind of like this circuit structure, promptly, element that is connected in the constant voltage circuit shown in Figure 6 70 on the hot side voltage Vdd and the element that is connected on the low potential side voltage Vss are exchanged mutually, simultaneously p channel transistor and N channel transistor are exchanged, with low potential side voltage Vaa2 as reference voltage.
In addition, in constant voltage circuit 70, as shown in Figure 9, also can supply with low potential side voltage Vss, in constant voltage circuit 70 ', as shown in figure 10, also can supply with the second low potential side voltage Vss2 by switch 812～814 by switch 715～718.
[2. second embodiment]
In the first above-mentioned embodiment, by according to constant be the sampling clock CKs of certain dutycycle, control has reduced it and has consumed electric power to the power supply of constant voltage circuit 70.At this moment, even the second low potential side voltage Vss2 has the change of a certain degree, but because constant voltage circuit 70 is periodically carried out steady operation, so can suppress the amplitude of fluctuation Va of voltage Vreg.
, when stepping motor 110 utilizes the driving pulse rotation, because being driven circuit 100, big electric current consumes, so the second low potential side voltage Vss2 sharply rises.In addition, be in generating state at alternator 10, when electric current is recharged to large value capacitor 30, because the internal resistance of large value capacitor 30 causes the second low potential side voltage Vss2 sharply to descend.In addition, if the buck multiplying power K of step-up/step-down circuit 40 increases, then the second low potential side voltage Vss2 sharply descends, if buck multiplying power K reduces, then the second low potential side voltage Vss2 sharply rises.If the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change like this, then the amplitude of fluctuation Va of voltage Vreg becomes big, the oscillation frequency instability of oscillatory circuit 80, and frequency dividing circuit 90 might be worked mistakenly.In addition, in the worst case, the vibration of oscillatory circuit 80 stops.On the other hand, during " if height " level in 1 cycle of sampling clock CKs shared ratio big, even the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change then also can suppress the amplitude of fluctuation of voltage Vreg, if but handle like this, then the rate of descent of the consumption electric power of constant voltage circuit 70 is little.
Second embodiment In view of the foregoing finishes, even its purpose is also can suppress the change of voltage Vreg under the situation of the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change, makes the rate of descent of consumption electric power of constant voltage circuit 70 big simultaneously.
[structure of 2-1. second embodiment]
Figure 11 is the block diagram of the time set 2 of second embodiment.Time set 2 usefulness stabilized power source part A replace constant voltage circuit 70, the new generating state testing circuit 130 that adopts the generating state that detects alternator 10, and except above 2, the time set 1 of its structure and first embodiment shown in Figure 1 is roughly the same.
Generating state testing circuit 130 is used for detecting the charge condition to large value capacitor 30 by detecting the generating state of alternator 10.This routine generating state testing circuit 130 is made of resistance 131 and operational amplifier 132 as shown in the figure.In addition, some branches are arranged in operational amplifier 132, can prevent by delaying work that noise causes.
The positive input terminal of operational amplifier 132 is connected with an end X1 of resistance 131 on being connected large value capacitor 30, and its negative input end is connected on the other end X2 of resistance 131.Therefore, electromotive force takes place on alternator 10, if in the closed circuit of rectification circuit 20 → hot side voltage Vdd → large value capacitor 30 → resistance 131 → rectification circuit 20, flow through charging current, then the output signal of operational amplifier 132 is " height " level, when not having charging current to flow through, be " low " level.And the output signal of operational amplifier 132 is exported as the first control signal CTL1.
, when charging current flows in the large value capacitor 30, because the internal resistance of large value capacitor 30 causes the first low potential side voltage Vss1 sharply to descend.Step-up/step-down circuit 40 makes the first low potential side voltage Vss1 buck, generates the second low potential side voltage Vss2, so if the first low potential side voltage Vss1 sharply descends, then accompany with it, the second low potential side voltage Vss2 also sharply descends.Therefore, if with reference to the first control signal CTL1, then can detect during of the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change.
Secondly, before buck control signal CTLa has change, till having passed through preset time during, be " height " level from the second control signal CTL2 of voltage detecting circuit 50 outputs, during other, be " low " level.If buck multiplying power K change, then through after sometime, the convergence of the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change.Here, second control signal CTL2 time of being " height " level decided with the needed time of convergence.Therefore, if with reference to the second control signal CTL2, then can detect the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change during.
Secondly, driving circuit 100 and 60 pairs second low potential side voltage of capacitor Vss2 constitute low-pass filter equivalently.Therefore, if stepping motor 110 is driven by the driving pulse from driving circuit 100, the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change then, but during certain after the valid period of driving pulse finishes, second low potential side voltage Vss2 change.Suppose this change and generate the 3rd control signal CTL3 that exports from driving circuit 100.Specifically, driving pulse not only in the valid period but also becoming effectively from driving pulse before till the change convergence of the second low potential side voltage Vss2 during be " height " level, during other, be " low " level.Therefore, if with reference to the 3rd control signal CTL3, then can detect the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change during.
Secondly, the stabilized power source part A is made of the constant voltage circuit of selecting to illustrate among the circuit 71 and first embodiment 70.The first clock K1 (dutycycle R=1/8), second clock K2 (dutycycle R=1/2), the 3rd clock K3 (dutycycle R=3/4) and " height " level signal H are supplied to each signal input part of selecting circuit 71.In addition, first～the 3rd above-mentioned control signal CTL1～CTL3 is supplied to its control input end.This selects circuit 71 according to first～the 3rd control signal CTL1～CTL3, selects first～the 3rd clock K1～CK3 or " height " level signal H.This selection signal is supplied to constant voltage circuit 70 as sampling clock Cks.
The form of selecting has multiple, selects according to truth table shown in Figure 12 in this embodiment.If first～the 3rd control signal CTL1～CTL3 all is " low " level, then drastic change does not take place in the second low potential side voltage Vss2.Therefore, even periodically carry out the steady operation of voltage Vreg with the long to a certain degree time interval, voltage Vreg is also almost constant.Therefore, under these circumstances, the first clock K1 of dutycycle R minimum is supplied to constant voltage circuit 70 as sampling clock Cks in first～the 3rd clock K1～CK3 signal.In the case, the same with first embodiment, can make the consumption electric power of constant voltage circuit 70 be reduced to 1/8.
In addition, having only the first control signal CTL1 under the situation of " height " level, second clock K2 is supplied to constant voltage circuit 70 as sampling clock Cks.In the case, dutycycle R is that 1/2 second clock K2 is used as sampling clock Cks and uses.Therefore, even cause the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change because electric current flows in the large value capacitor 30, but owing to relatively long during constant voltage circuit 70 steady operations, so can suppress the change of voltage Vreg.
In addition, be that " height " level and the 3rd control signal CTL3 are that the 3rd clock K3 is supplied to constant voltage circuit 70 as sampling clock Cks under the situation of " low " level at the second control signal CTL2.In the case, dutycycle R is that 3/4 the 3rd clock K3 is used as sampling clock Cks and uses.At the second control signal CTL2 is under the situation of " height " level, why uses the 3rd big clock K3 of dutycycle R when " height " level than the first control signal CTL1, is because the rate of change (Vss2/ time) of the second low potential side voltage Vss2 is bigger.That is,, but undertaken relatively slowly by the charging that generating is carried out because if buck control signal CTLa change gets started conversion buck multiplying power K.Therefore, shown in this example, owing to the dutycycle R that makes sampling clock Cks along with the change of the rate of change of the second low potential side voltage Vss2 changes, so can suppress the change of voltage Vreg, can reduce the consumption electric power of constant voltage circuit 70 again.
In addition, be under the situation of " height " level at the 3rd control signal CTL3, " height " level signal H is supplied to constant voltage circuit 70 as sampling clock Cks.In the case, constant voltage circuit 70 constant work.This is that the second low potential side voltage Vss2 change maximum, and in the driving pulse valid period, the second low potential side voltage Vss2 changes to the direction that rises because stepping motor 110 is when driving.If the second low potential side voltage Vss2 rises, then the supply voltage of oscillatory circuit 80 and frequency dividing circuit 90 descends, and it is unstable that oscillation frequency becomes, in the worst case, and the failure of oscillations., in this embodiment, in the driving pulse valid period, constant voltage circuit 70 must be worked, so oscillatory circuit 80 and frequency dividing circuit 90 are stably worked.
[work of 2-2. second embodiment]
Secondly, the working condition of second embodiment is described.Figure 13 is the sequential chart of the work usefulness of explanation time set 2.In addition, in this embodiment, do not carry out the change of buck multiplying power K, the second control signal CTL2 is constant to be " low " level.
As shown in the drawing, suppose T0 during before the moment t1, first～the 3rd control signal CTL1～CTL3 is " low " level, selecting circuit 71 is that 1/8 the first clock signal C K1 supplies with constant voltage circuit 70 as sampling clock CKs with dutycycle R.Since during T0 second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change not, so voltage Vreg is almost constant.Therefore, even the power supply of constant voltage circuit 70 is narrowed down to 1/8, oscillatory circuit 80 and frequency dividing circuit 90 also can stably be worked.
Secondly, if T1 has charging current to flow through during from moment t1 to moment t2, then during T1, the second low potential side voltage Vss2 descends gradually.If flow through charging current, after then charged state test section 130 detects this charging current, during the T1 first control signal CTL1 that will be " height " level supply with to select circuit 71.So selection circuit 71 is set at dutycycle R 1/2 second clock CK2 as sampling clock CKs supply constant voltage circuit 70.At this moment, though the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change, because the dutycycle R of sampling clock CKs is 1/2, so can make the amplitude of fluctuation Va of voltage Vreg little.Therefore, though the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change, but owing to can suppress the change of voltage Vreg, so oscillatory circuit 80 and frequency dividing circuit 90 are stably worked.
Secondly, T2 during from moment t2 to moment t3 because first～the 3rd control signal CTL1～CTL3 be " low " level, thus with during T0 the same, constant voltage circuit 70 can electric power be reduced works under 1/8 state in consumption.
Secondly, if during from moment t4 to moment t5, driving pulse is " height " level, T3 during from before this moment t3 to moment t6 then, and the 3rd control signal CTL3 becomes " height " level.So, select circuit 71 that " height " level H is supplied with constant voltage circuit 70 as sampling clock CKs.At this moment, because constant voltage circuit 70 operate as normal, so even the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change, voltage Vreg also can remain on certain reference voltage V ref.Therefore, oscillatory circuit 80 and frequency dividing circuit 90 are stably worked.
So in a second embodiment, under the situation of detection as the second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change of constant voltage circuit 70, under these circumstances, change according to the second low potential side voltage Vss2, control is to the power supply of constant voltage circuit 70, even so second low potential side voltage Vss2 drastic change, the amplitude of fluctuation Va that also can suppress voltage Vreg, and, under the stable situation of the second low potential side voltage Vss2, increase the ratio of power supply stopping period, so can reduce the consumption electric power of constant voltage circuit 70 significantly.

In above structure, if in alternator 10 electromotive force takes place, then p channel transistor 133,134 alternately conductings, between the terminal of capacitor 136, produce voltage, the input end of phase inverter 137 is " low " level, so be " height " level from the control signal CTL1 of phase inverter 138 outputs.On the other hand, in alternator 10, do not take place under the situation of electromotive force, p channel transistor 133,134 is blocked as before, so the electric charge of capacitor 136 is by constant-current circuit 135 discharges, so the voltage between terminals of capacitor 136 reduces, the input end of phase inverter 137 is " height " level, so be " low " level from the control signal CTL1 of phase inverter 138 outputs.
